If you're an AT&T customer in the market for a premium small tablet, but not interested in the iPad mini, then we have some good news to share.

AT&T on Wednesday announced that it will exclusively begin carrying the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 "in the coming weeks." The carrier did not announce pricing details.

The Galaxy Note 8.0 will run on AT&T's 4G LTE network, which is currently available in 263 markets covering 288 million people. For a full list of markets where AT&T 4G LTE is available, head over to the carrier's website.

"Demand for 4G LTE-connected tablets is growing, and we're offering our customers the most choice and the best portfolio," AT&T's senior vice president of emerging devices, Chris Penrose, said in a statement. "The Galaxy Note 8.0 is an awesome tablet and flies on 4G LTE. We expect customers to be excited about the Galaxy Note 8.0's versatility that makes its useful for work and entertainment."

The Galaxy Note 8.0 features an 8-inch display with 189 pixels per inch, providing HD-quality picture and 1080p-resolution video. Weighing just 12 ounces, the tablet is powered by Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and a 1.6-GHz quad core processor with a 4,600 mAh battery. It comes with an S Pen for note taking, and has a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera with digital zoom, along with a 1.3-megapixel camera on the front for video chats.

Other specs include 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal memory, and a microSD slot for up to 32GB expandable memory. The Wi-Fi version of the Galaxy Note 8.0 earned 3.5 out of 4 stars in PCMag's review, and high praise for its speed, "well balanced weight," and "excellent pen support," but lost points for its camera and battery life.
